We Don't Use Every "New Thing"

Dr. Watkins doesn't experiment in your mouth. A product must go through rigorous testing and studies before he'll use it in his practice. He keeps up with modern technology and uses it to your advantage.

Why does Dr. Watkins look like this?

He's using Orascoptic Magnifying Loupes with a high energy light source to view fine details on your teeth.

Computerized Charts

Dr. Watkins uses Dentrix software to keep track of your records. Not only charts like this, but radiographs and all kinds of other information.

Digital Radiography

We've found digital radiographs to be far superior to the older films. We can zoom in on questionable areas and the amount of radiation per exposure is even lower than conventional film.

Instrument Sterilization

At our office, we demand sterile, modern instruments. We use only the best: for your safety. Every item that goes into your mouth is either freshly sterilized, covered with a sterile wrap or glove, or it is brand new and used only one time.
